Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll fights to have other women testify in rape case

Donald Trump will find himself facing three sexual assault accusers instead of one if the writer who claims he raped her in the 1990s persuades a judge to let two other women testify at trial.

E. Jean Carroll went public in 2019 with her claim that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room, and sued him for defamation when he called her a liar from the White House. The former president argued last week that the other women’s claims are irrelevant to a defamation case and that their allegations don’t rise to the level of “sexual assault” anyway.

Carroll says their stories “show a consistent pattern of behavior.”
